As the COVID19 pandemic forces us all to socially distance, we are doing something new this year.
This will kick off a month of campaigning every weekend for our endorsed candidates and legislation so we score progressive wins up an down the ballot this November.
Our Revolution Sacramento / Wellstone Progressive Democrats formally ENDORSE
Finally, Our Revolution Sacramento / Wellstone Progressive Democrats formally OPPOSE
The election is upon us. Ballots drop within a couple months.
The election is upon us. Ballots drop within a couple months.
We condemn the police’s murder of George Floyd – a modern day lynching.
George Floyd’s death is yet another highly visible extrajudicial execution in a horrifically long list of thousands of Black and brown people killed by police.
From Breonna Taylor to Meagan Hockaday, to Oscar Grant and Stephon Clark – there are too many innocent victims for us to even attempt to express the magnitude of this tragedy and brutality.
Police in this country are completely out of control – they can kill anyone, anywhere, at any time, for any reason, with zero consequences.
Police must be held accountable, and their terrorizing of Black and Brown communities must be stopped – immediately.
We stand in solidarity with, and believe we should follow the leadership of, Black-led groups like Black Lives Matter and the CDP African American Caucus.
We support people fighting back against a police / surveillance state designed to punish and oppress those with darker skin.
We demand the firing, trial, and conviction for murder of any and all police who kill unarmed people – beginning with Floyd’s murderer and his three accomplices.
We demand the resignation of any District Attorney or Attorney General too cowardly to prosecute killer cops.
We demand amnesty for all protesters peacefully exercising their first amendment rights in the face of police brutality and agents provocateurs.
We demand that cities everywhere defund the police and review all existing contracts with law enforcement.
We demand a national system for tracking police killings, and local independent oversight commissions with the power to subpoena and fire police officers.
We demand liberty and justice and equal treatment for all, and an end to the plague of White Supremacy.
Now is the time to call your legislators.
Make sure they don’t follow Trump’s reckless “leadership”, or resort to typical, ineffective, neoliberal, trickle-down band-aids.

Confused by the tons of candidates and measures?
As part of our ongoing efforts to be transparent and bring in as many stakeholders as possible as we draft our first ever Strategic Plan in 2020 (a YUGE election year), we want to ensure all members can easily provide input.

Join us for brunch on February 8th to fill out your ballot alongside members of the community.
We will be at 1033 S Street from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. – drop by any time and bring a friend!
Sacramento voters receive ballots by mail at the beginning of February – and have until March 3rd to vote.
We will be providing food and drinks as well as “Ballot Experts” who can answer any questions you have about voting and the races and initiatives on your ballot.
Don’t want to make your final decisions about who you are voting for on that day?
Come just to participate in dialogue – you can bring along a Sample Ballot and tentatively mark your votes.
We are encouraging people to vote early so they can turn in their ballots and have their vote counted ASAP.
Bring your friends!
We meet the first Thursday each month at 7PM, in the First Floor Auditorium at Shriner’s Hospital, 2425 Stockton Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95817.
